Leather Patch

A leather patch is cut from genuine hide, while a leatherette patch uses a synthetic, man-made material in the same sew-on format. Genuine leather shows natural grain variation, so no two patches look exactly alike, and engraving marks it in a natural tone. Leatherette gives a more uniform surface and suits buyers who want an animal-free option. Both attach the same way, so the choice comes down to material preference and budget.

Custom leather patches appear most often on workwear jackets, denim, canvas bags, and blankets from craft breweries, ranches and farms, construction and trade companies, and outdoor apparel brands. They also work well for company anniversary gifts, employee milestone awards, and western or heritage-themed events. The natural material signals durability, which fits rugged and outdoor brand identities.

Custom leather patches cost between $2.25 and $3.94 per unit for the square, round, and small rectangle shapes, with price breaks at 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1,000 pieces. The large rectangle runs $2.50 to $4.38 per unit across the same quantity tiers. A $100 setup charge covers a debossed or laser engraved imprint in one location and also applies to reorders. Quantity, patch shape, and individual personalization are the main factors that change the final price.

To order leather patches applied to another product, add the patch pricing and its setup charge to the blank, undecorated pricing of the base product. List both the base product and the patch on your purchase order so the two items process together without delays. Confirm first that the base item is a sewable woven material, since the patch cannot attach to caps or non-woven, polyester, or dry bags.

Yes, laser engraving supports individual personalization, so every patch in a single order can carry a different name or title. Personalization adds a $50 setup charge plus $1.50 per piece on top of standard patch pricing. Submit the full list of names with your artwork to keep production on schedule.

Wash items with a sew-on leather patch by hand in cold water and let them air dry, because machine washing and heat drying can dry out and stiffen genuine leather. Spot-clean the patch itself with a damp cloth instead of soaking it. The logo is debossed or engraved into the hide rather than printed on top, so normal wear and cleaning will not chip or peel it.

These leather patches are made in China, and no safety or environmental certifications are published for this item. No FDA, Prop 65, or REACH documentation is listed for the genuine leather material. If your program requires compliance paperwork, request it before placing the order.
